You can't just move the HDD from the old system to a new one. The OS was installed on that HDD based on the hardware in the R410 so it's unlikely to work with the R430.
If you're buying a new R430, the OS is probably already installed on its HDD. If not, you'll have to do a fresh OS installation, followed by installing any other software you need.
